This was a poor idea for a thread :P


I contemplated just posting this in the Vita thread but I felt like the public should know, even if it costed me my dignity.

PlayStation Vita Japanese Software Sales (Media Create Physical/ Famitsu Digital)

Arcturus on 21 August 2014

People need to be reminded that VGChartz typically doesn't track digital sales of games. They also need to be aware that close to 50% of game sales on Vita are digital.

I agree. Minecraft would be perfect for the kids who bought the Vita because it was "cool." This would be a great intro for Minecraft in Japan.

2 million, perhaps? When you include digital, that is.

I don't see why not. It will keep selling as long as Vita is "selling"

I bolded out the game-changer. If Minecraft ends up having the same level of success there, Vita sales could boom. And, as a result, Minecraft sales would benefit.


How about a Vita Minecraft bundle?

Ouch, not really sure that's something to celebrate...

I feel like Sony really squandered a great opportunity with the Vita. It's a fantastic little system, but it seems that because it wasn't an enormous hit for Sony right out of the gate, they started treating it like the red-headed stepchild of the family.

At least it gets some love from Japan. I just pray those games continue to be localized.

Funny thing is, Assasins Creed Liberation was the entry I enjoyed the most (Only played a little of 2, a lot of black flag and of course Liberation). So I'm happy for that game, not so much for CoD, but the greatest game are hardly the best sellers.



3DS FC :  4339 - 3326 - 7693. Add me :) Nickname Tin

Why couldn't they be the Vita's good games? This sucks. Think about what the Vita is right now: a viable platform in Japan and a completely niche system in the West. But its 3 biggest sellers are Western games, the few that actually resonated with the Vita's potential market in the West.

I'm not sure what this means for the Vita. I think it means that the system could have done well in America if Sony had supplied it with high-quality titles that appealed to the Assassin's Creed & COD crowd. But Killzone was an attempt at that -- maybe it was too little, too late. It was certainly overshadowed by the PS4 launch.

What an unfortunately mishandled platform.

Uncharted was decent, but I did not like the other 2 at all. Tearaway, Killzone, P4G and a few others are far better games IMO. I like Mercenary more than Shadow fall even.
